Document Summary

Deviant acts focus on the particular instance of deviance, nt the relationships surrounding them. Deviant acts involve one or more people aiming to accomplish a particular deviant goal. Some deviant acts can be accomplished by a lone individual, without recourse in the assistance or presence of other people. A second type of deviant act involves the cooperation of at least two voluntary participants: this cooperation usually involves the transfer of illicit goods, like pornography, arms, or drugs. Deviant careers six themes tend to be most commonly addressed in the literature on deviant careers: entering deviance. Relatively little has been written about these areas for a few reasons: Most deviants get relatively little explicit training in how to perform their deviance, how to avoid detection, how to deal with the police, and other important concerns. Very little information is available on the post-deviant features of individuals" lives.
